Slipping through the cracks Let it be known that having more than 2 UNREGISTERED automobiles on your lot is a violation of the town’s ordinance, as well as Maine State Law. I will enforce this ordinance as well as all others in the town. 911 addressing requirements For the safety of YOU, the residents of Mechanic Falls, starting this summer, I’ll be checking in with anyone in town whose house or building isn’t adequately marked to allow emergency vehicles in locating your residence or business. If you don’t know, the 911 addressing requirements , please get in touch and I can go over them with you. A couple new roads You may have noticed some new roads around town. Due to 911 requirements, if a driveway has more than one home on it, it must be named and that road recorded in the Maine Enhanced 911 database . That being said, you can’t just put another home on a driveway without meeting the minimum requirements. If you need help with those, again, I am at your disposal. Comprehensive Plan is 7.5 yrs. old The elected officials of Mechanic Falls use the comprehensive plan to guide their decision in directing the town. The comprehensive plan typically gets updated every ten years and ours is 7.5 years old so planning will start soon to start revising that. Keep this in mind and start deciding if you’d like to be a part of that process. Code info online Please know that building code resources are now located on the Mechanic Falls Code Enforcement Web site for your use . As well as many other resources for permitting and code related topics. I look forward to continuing my due diligence in making Mechanic Falls’ administrative processes, in permitting, building, plumbing, electric rules and all things code more assessable to YOU the people. And if you find that some of the ordinances in own aren’t what you’d like, I can talk to you about how you can make a change. Let me know how I can help you! Alan Plummer
